Recap: Problem/Opportunity Description“Repetition is the key to learning” – Jeff Case The XML-based management solutions provider community lacks a critical mass of standardized data models in appropriate formats to deliver acceptable solutions to the (waiting) operator and user communities. The existing body of IETF SNMP MIBs can fill a major portion of that gap very quickly if they are converted to appropriate XML-based “resource model” artifacts. The IETF should take the lead in standardizing the methodology for converting SNMP MIBs to XML-based resource model artifacts. The IETF might also consider making reference implementation tools freely available (in a manner similar to xml2rfc). |
